History of Count [Baron] Frederick von der Trenck
Trenck had been taken into Frederick II "The Great's" famous Personal Guard [all over six foot tall] as a Cornet in 1742. Trenck rose to Ordnance Officer at age of 19. Fell in love with Frederick II "the Great's " sister, A. Amelia. They secretly married.
Some think it was because of Trenck's boldness to have secretly married the King's sister, the Prussian King had Trenck arrested in 1743 and placed in the prison. .
Trenck was held without public accusation or trial.
Trenck escaped prison in 1743.
He wrote of his escape in his is autobiography which was copied, almost word by word by Victor Hugo for his own hero's escape in his novel Les Miserables.
The events which followed carried him eastward into Austria. He leaves us his impression of his cousin, Franz von der Trenck [lover of Empress Theresa].

Baron Fred von der Trneck was Knighted in Austria by Maria Thersia. [Date not known].
In 1754 Trenck, while in Prussia to attend the funeral of his mother, Frederick II "The Great's" agents captured Trenck, and soon he was, again, in prison.
